Pratt likely takes at least 1 of those spots, possibly Wilken too if he can keep up what he's done so far this year
I'm hoping some of our prospects end up being decent. And if we fall out of contention attendance will drop and so will payroll. We have a seemingly promising pipeline.
I generally try to be very realistic of the payroll and not generally complain about the "rich owner" or whatever (we've debated on here). I think it got even worse this year without the TV contract crutch this season.
I do think that they may have the ability to make a splash if these pitchers are all legit (and a few guys in the pipeline). We may have a pretty hollow 3/$75 left for Yelich and 2/$13.5 for Ashby, but otherwise I hope there's something available to spend on one big bat (at least) if they think they have a rotation of all pre-arby pitchers over the next few years.
